The Cancer Center has just initiated the High Throughput Sequencing Core. This core will operate on the 7th floor of the BRB, with Dr. Mark Adams as the Core Director. The essential piece of equipment is the Solexa sequencer purchased through the Howard Hughes Medical Institute for the laboratory of Dr. Sandy Markowitz to support efforts in cancer genetics. The Cancer Center has made a considerable investment to support the start-up costs of this Core. User fees will support the operational costs of the facility. We anticipate this Core to come "on line" by March of 2009. Many investigators can then take advantage of this incredible resource to examine many facets of genetic alterations associated with both clinical and experimental cancers.
